You're Crossing the Line, We're Just Online Friends

Jiang Shuangzhi had been dating her boyfriend for seven years, and was finally about to end their four-year long-distance relationship.

Just before his return, Jiang Shuangzhi received an anonymous email.

In the photo, her boyfriend gazed tenderly at a bride-to-be trying on her wedding dress. Anyone would have said they were a perfect match.

But the bride wasn't her.

That night, Jiang Shuangzhi moved out of their "bridal home."

When her friends heard, they rushed to cheer her up and hired her a gaming companion.

He was quiet and skilled, and sometimes drew little comics to make her smile. Jiang Shuangzhi was completely charmed.

To keep herself from becoming King Zhou, Jiang Shuangzhi hired two more gaming companions that very night.

Until one day, she ran into her neighbor in the elevator.

A new companion's sweet voice came from Jiang Shuangzhi's phone: "Why aren't you saying anything, sis?"

Her neighbor, who always had a grumpy little cat face, glanced over with a quiet, pointed look. "So this is the kind of person you like?"

Jiang Shuangzhi: ?

Everyone knew that Xia Zhirong, an antisocial student in the Chinese painting department who was a regular on the campus confession wall, could swiftly evade any would-be suitor. He was widely considered the hardest person at school to pursue.

Then one day, Xia Zhirong suddenly changed. He started showing up on the sports field all the time, and his looks and athletic skills were equally eye-catching.

He also stopped leaving class as soon as he finished the assigned work. Instead, he began drawing cute comic strips that seemed completely at odds with his personality.

He started spending more time at school, and even made plans to play games with his classmates. When they pressed him for details, they learned he had a part-time job... as a gaming companion?

Everyone stared at the six-figure watch on his wrist and fell silent.

Later, her ex-boyfriend tracked down Jiang Shuangzhi's address and waited outside.

But then he saw Jiang Shuangzhi walking alongside a young man.

Her ex-boyfriend gritted his teeth. "I didn't think you'd be that kind of person, too."

Before Jiang Shuangzhi could say anything, Xia Zhirong turned to size him up. "Bro, have you had your eyes checked?"

"An aloof, love-is-dead big sis" and a sweet-talking, secretly scheming pup
